So Corey and I decided to start the weekly photos like we did when I was pregnant with Penelope. We started a little late this time around :) Feb 2nd marked the start of week 15 and Feb 9th marked the start of week 16 and well, my tummy seems to be popping out already. I guess I am one who shows earlier the second time around.
This pregnancy has been different in many ways. I was feeling pretty sick the first few weeks. Pretty much all through the holidays (Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years). I had no sickness at all with P so this was new territory for me.
But luckily it has all subsided and my appetite is in full swing now. Hence the tummy pop lol.
My cravings are mostly bacon, beef and french fries, where I craved mostly sweets with the first pregnancy.
And I think the biggest difference of all is having a toddler to run around and care for 24/7.
Penelope is so active and it is soooo amazing. Difficult when I wasn't feeling well but now just loads of fun. To watch her grow and then realize I get to do it all over again when this next one comes out is truly a dream come true!! I will admit it is exhausting at times but well worth it all. I feel so overwhelmingly lucky to be able to experience this adventure of mommyhood. It is the most difficult and extraordinarily rewarding gift in my life. And I think the one thing that keeps me all together (well most the time I'm pretty together) is having such a wonderful partner to go through it all with. Thank goodness for Corey to keep me (somewhat) sane :)
